Currently watching the Wire. This show starts too slow to be considered GOAT overall. This illustrious season 3 might be the GOAT season of any show, but the first 5 eps of season 1 are too slow and not gripping enough for this to be in the running.

The Wire does start off slow but that’s mostly because it had no choice, it had to build up the characters, and was based more in reality, the last season to me was the worst. Still one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.
